He is being investigated as part of an inquiry named Operation Brancaster which was sparked by MP Tom Watson.
In 2012 he used Prime Minister’s Questions to claim that a file of evidence used to convict a man called Peter Righton of importing child pornography in 1992 contained “clear intelligence” of a sex abuse gang.
He also claimed that a member of the group had bragged about links with a senior aide to a former Prime Minister.
Mr Watson wrote to Scotland Yard about the case, and the force later launched a number of separate criminal investigations after assessing the information.
